2/10 Poor

Larry the Manager was great however the Expedia agents apparently did not call the property when I asked four times. Upon my visit to the hotel I decided to get another property as it is really a 2 star. Expedia would not refund the property after several attempts with multiple agents. I can go on and on but will not.
